Genocide of Uighurs in Xianjiang?

What is genocide? It is the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group. 

Xianjiang is an autonomous region of China. Its population has been growing, not decreasing. In 8 years from 2010 to 2018, the Xianjiang population has grown by 14% from 22 million to 25 million. The Uighurs have grown from 10.17 million to over 12.71 million, an increase of 25% or 2.54 million, while the Han Chinese have grown from 8.8 million to 9 million, an increase of 2%. 

There are 56 ethnic groups in China. The Han Chinese are the largest group, so the rest of 55 groups are minorities. When the One Child Policy (1979 - 2015) was used to control the rapidly growing urban population, there were exemptions made available to most rural parents and minorities including the Uighurs. The accusation that the Chinese Government deliberately wants to kill off the non-Han Chinese citizens is nothing but political B.S.  

Genocide of Uighurs in Xianjiang? It is nothing but dirty politics against China. We are living in an era of fake news, fact distortions, lies and slanders. Everything seems to be politicized. The China-ignorant politicians in the West should rather study the facts and the real China, and reflect with their conscience on their own true history of genocide against their indigenous people.

Political Storm in Hong Kong

The so-called Pro-Democracy Movement (PDM) in Hong Kong was rather a Pro-Destruction Movement (PDM).

Hong Kong had been a British Crown Colony for 156 years. It was a fact that during the whole 156 year British colonial rule, there was no democracy. The Governor was always a British official sent by Britain to govern the Chinese in Hong Kong. Senior officials were also hired by appointment. Government leaders were not elected. 

Since the handover back to Chinese rule in 1997, there was more democracy in Hong Kong under a One Country Two Systems model of governance.  From a British Crown Colony, it has become a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of the People's Republic of China (PRC). The separatists, backed by the anti-China forces led by the United States of America, tried to change the One Country Two Systems into Two Countries Two Systems. It goes without saying that the PRC would not allow this to happen. An independent Hong Kong? No way!   

The post of Chief Executive of Hong Kong after the handover in 1997 is an important political position, not a civil service administrator's position. Chief Executive Carrie Lam is not a mediocre leader. She has rich experience working as a senior civil servant, but in the early years of her tenure, she lacked political skills and experience. To be a political leader, one must not only have the ability to manage public affairs, but also have political wisdom. It is not easy to use power properly and timingly to deal with upper, lower, internal and external forces.

The black riots broke out in 2019 were not ordinary riots. They were political riots. It was a color revolution. It was indeed not easy to be the Chief Executive of Hong Kong in such an environment. Without the National Security Law, how could it be effective in stopping the violence and controlling the chaos? Hong Kong was almost destroyed by the 'Anti-China and mess-up-Hong Kong' forces. Indeed, it was the National Security Law that helped save the city.

Hong Kong's anti-China yellow-rioters and black-terror activists blindly worship Uncle Sam. They don't know what American-styled democracy really is. American-styled democracy is not one person one vote; it is rather one dollar 

one vote. It is a big game of money and power. Politicians do not work for the welfare of the whole country and the common people, but for their own self-interests. They serve the rich and powerful donors. They work for the Deep State of America. American Democracy is a Plutocracy. It is the Oligarch's game. 

Hong Kong is a very unique place. No matter from what angle one looks at it, no matter what one's ideal, fantasy or wishful thinking is for independence, it cannot change the reality of Hong Kong. What reality? It is the fact that Hong Kong is part of China, and the British colonial rule of Hong Kong has become history.
